Description

A large area foil-microchannel plate time-of-flight (TOF) system is presented. The parameters of the system are as follows: 55 cm2 active area, 99.8% detection efficiency, 100% transparency and 700 ps time resolution. The TOF system, unique in size and conditions of exploitation, consists of two (or three) detectors used also as anticoincidence units for the analysing multistrip Si-detector array. (orig.)
